Easy Zucchini Muffins

Hello Friends! How is your week going? Are you enjoying the late summer season?

I have been enjoying the long days and beautiful evenings. Our sky turns into a pastel background on most summer days

Today’s recipe is an easy one when you are looking for a tasty way to celebrate the season and use fresh produce. These homemade zucchini muffins use mostly ingredients from your pantry with fresh zucchini.

If you are growing zucchini or have access to it, this is a nice recipe to incorporate the squash into your meal.

What I love about these muffins is that they are light, buttery, and delicious! They are a nice treat for family and friends too!

Easy Zucchini Muffins ingredients

These muffins just take a few main ingredients:

Zucchini – If you have zucchini in your garden - lucky you! If you buy it from the farmers market or grocery store, keep in mind that l stay fresh for four or five days if you store it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator,

Butter – Friends, I always use real butter in my recipes. While margarine will work too, there is nothing like the flavor of true butter in a recipe. 

Flour – I recommend using all-purpose flour for this recipe. No need for cake flour. 

Variations on this recipe.

Chocolate Zucchini Bread - You can add ¾ cups of melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter before baking.

  • This recipe is so easy to make and you can make the dry ingredient base ahead of time and just add the zucchini and wet ingredients.
  • You can freeze the shredded zucchini in an airtight container until ready to use. This is a great way to store zucchini if you have it in abundance.
  • Use muffin baking liners for easy cleanup. They allow for the muffin to overflow nicely upward, for a more bakery-style muffin.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
